How To Get Kraken-Chan and Recruit Surfer Jay in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Like Claw Machines in real life, obtaining Kraken-Chan will likely take multiple attempts. Make sure that you have enough cash before engaging in this game! The best bet is to use the claw to push the plush as much as possible so that it will eventually fall into the slot to collect and put in your inventory. After getting Kraken-Chan, board the Goromaru and sail back to Honolulu to locate Surfer Jay (as previously mentioned, it doesn’t matter what order you do this recruitment in).

After landing in Honolulu, you can take a cab or your street surfer or run to Tropical Coco in the Anaconda Shopping Center. If you’re having a hard time locating Surfer Jay, simply pull up the mini-map and look for the pirate member symbols with a bandana and sword that represent people you can recruit. Players should see Jay sitting in a garage next to his surfboard. From here, talk to Surfer Jay, and he will spill his guts about his heartbreak and relationship problems.

Eventually, players will learn that Kraken-Chan is the key to helping Surfer Jay in his relationship troubles and eventually join the Goro Pirates. When prompted, gift the plush to Jay, and he will then become a part of your crew with his base stats displayed. Surfer Jay doesn’t have any fascinating stats or special perks if made First Mate or a Boarding Squad Leader. However, for the Pirate Yakuza completionists out there, recruiting Jay is a must, and it’s a little tricky figuring out how to find that specific plush he seeks out. His dialogue isn’t the most helpful, either.

And that is how you find Kraken-Chan and recruit Surfer Jay in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
